Cheese Strain: The History Of Cheese Cannabis Strain

The terpenes of cheese are varied, and when they all come together it forms the strong and powerful smell we all associate with this strain. It has been said that cheese can have both a delicious and horrendous smell.

No one is 100% sure where Cheese actually comes from. Rumour has it that the Californian cultivator, known as Sam “the skunkman”, moved to the Netherlands to really get into producing some cannabis crops. He brought some of his Skunk seeds with him. Dutch cultivators loved what he had on offer because of its quick turnaround time.

But the smell of the plant was just too strong. A batch of skunk seeds made its way to the UK in 1988 and then something interesting happened. The plant that grew from the skunk seeds had a very peculiar cheese stench to it. It got cloned and successfully spread through the UK. The seeds resulted in creating a Cheese cannabis plant – pure marijuana revolution.
